i managed to stretch out my work to 7 hours today

although part of that time was spent doing nothing due to a network outage (AGAIN). we had some hysterical goings-on today at merrill corp. i will write about them sometime. i almost said "right"...isn't weird how you can make those errors in writing? just goes to show you how you (or at least i) write...by thinking of the words in your (my) mind.
 
this morning right around 9:30 the boss rallied the managers for an emergency meeting. i was kind of worried about what they were talking about, and the worry became terror when immediately afterward my manager comes to me and goes, "can i see you in my office, please?" i don't think it will be easy for me to get over the horror of hearing those words, after the different things that happened at the library. anyway, i was like, "shit, i'm going to get fired...maybe they were mad that i was on gmail the other day..."
 
but it turned out to be this special project that i am going to be in charge of. apparently the president of our division wants this store to be created and done extra quickly and they are putting me in charge of it. so i am to do nothing else for the next three weeks or so. i suppose this is one of those moments where i prove my worth, etc etc, blah blah blah. lately my manager has been saying things like "i trust you to be on hotline without anyone around" and "i had you in mind for doing the monday late shift in case you ever want to take a weekend trip, so you can have more of a rest" - it is totally opposite from a while back when i thought she hated me.
 
so it wasn't bad at all. hey, the best news is that i get to drop all my other stuff. so, someone else gets to deal with that crap i was doing yesterday! YAY!
 
i'm going to see l & m tonight, which should be fun. i might try to get home for stargate this evening.
